This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of work-related gender issues and to enable students to analyze the issues using the tools of economics.
Aim: to work out jointly with students a systematic perception of how the gender factor can impact on economic and demographic development. This course is pioneering: it is the first time that such a course has been introduced into the curriculum of a Russian higher educational institution with a focus on economics.
Vivimos inmersos en un sistema patriarcal que moldea, normaliza y naturaliza las desigualdades existentes entre hombres y mujeres. Candelaria busca remarcar que esta desigualdad existe y se puede cuantificar, dando cuenta de ella en muchísimas situaciones cotidianas. Desde Economía Femini(s)ta echan luz sobre estos temas generando datos para que sean usados como herramienta de transformación de la realidad en la que vivimos.
Candelaria Botto es Lic. en Economía de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, docente terciaria y ayudante de cátedra en la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas. A su vez, es coordinadora en Economía Femini(s)ta, una asociación civil que desde 2015 busca visibilizar la desigualdad de género para construir una sociedad igualitaria.
The authors discuss how identity affects economic outcomes by bringing together psychological and sociological perspectives and economics. For economic outcomes of a single individual, it might be interesting which kind of social groups this individual belongs to. This may influence individual daily decisions and hence economic outcomes. It can, however, not only affect individual economic outcomes but also economic outcomes of organizations, institutions and other groups. This paper describes these influences with respect to gender in the workplace, to the economics of poverty and social exclusion, and to the household division of labour.
